Seamless Apple Pay Integration in Legacy Payment System

Share now

Executive Summary

This case study shows that Apple Pay has been successfully integrated into a legacy payment system to make mobile wallet transactions secure and efficient. In this process, the existing architecture was preserved, with the increasing demands of modern payment methods in view. Seamless functionality, better security, and an improved user experience were ensured for the project through the use of Agile methodologies and strong integration frameworks. The integration allowed the business to address the changing customer needs, remain competitive, and increase efficiency. Innovative payment solutions have been adopted by businesses operating in sectors like hospitality to reduce operational costs and improve customer satisfaction.

Business Challenge

The existing payment gateway, SecurePay, was a powerful solution for dealing with online payments in the hospitality industry. The problem was its inability to use Apple Pay at its point of sale. That became a severe limitation in this age of soaring mobile wallet adoption. It affected business competitiveness and provided an outdated form of payment.

Key challenges included:

Legacy Architecture Constraints

The system was built on JSP, Spring MVC, and Hibernate, so it required compatibility with those technologies without changing the architecture.

Mobile Wallet Integration

Ensuring that Apple Pay's secure payment authorization and tokenization processes could be integrated into existing workflows with high security and functionality standards.

Regulatory Compliance

Apple Pay has strict security and certification requirements that must be followed to avoid regulatory or security lapses.

Seamless User Experience

A consistent and intuitive payment flow without adding complexity or interruption for the end-users.

Scalability

The solution to ensure the integration can handle potential growth and other added functionalities.

Our Solution

To achieve this, 4Labs developed a comprehensive integration strategy that would allow the incorporation of Apple Pay into the SecurePay system without making any changes in the underlying architecture.

The solution involved:

Apple Pay Authorization Workflow: Secure payment details are transmitted to Apple devices for user authentication and tokenized transactions. This provides the highest security levels while fulfilling users' expectations for a modern payment method.

CyberSource Integration: Payments were processed through CyberSource, the payment gateway, ensuring compliance with existing workflows and security standards. The integration ensured seamless payment approval and settlement.

Comprehensive Documentation: Developing technical and functional documentation to support the integration during implementation and for future maintenance.

End-to-End Testing: Testing to ensure compatibility, security, and usability across different client environments, reducing the risk of disruption post-deployment.

Solution Objectives

Enable Apple Pay Transactions

To add Apple Pay as a payment option within the existing infrastructure of SecurePay, catering to the expectation of customers to have safe and mobile-friendly transactions.

Preserve the Legacy Architecture

Integrating without altering the core architecture, design, and workflows of the system will ensure the client avoids the expensive overhaul of the system.

Assure Security

Strong encryption and tokenization protocols are deployed to meet and be above the highest security standards implemented for Apple Pay.

Simplify the User Experience

A seamless and intuitive payment process for the end-users will ensure that changes in payment methods are easy.

Support Scalability

Design the solution to accommodate possible future enhancements, such as additional payment methods or regional variations.

Methodology

An Agile SCRUM methodology guarantees iterative development, ongoing input, and flexibility. Using this strategy, the project team could satisfy the client's expectations while handling intricate integration requirements.

Key phases included:

Discovery Phase

Determining project requirements, constraints, and client expectations. This involved working closely with stakeholders to understand pain points and designing a solution.

Design and Development Phase

Build a solution architecture that matches the legacy stack of SecurePay. The configuration included Merchant IDs, completion of domain verification, and development of a blueprint for integrating Apple Pay workflows.

Implementation Phase

Implement the encrypted payment data workflow of Apple Pay with CyberSource and integrate it with the existing SecurePay system, ensuring minimal disturbance in the running processes.

Testing and Deployment Phase

Extensive testing was performed to ensure flawless functionality, security, and user experience. After the deployment, the system was continuously monitored for potential issues and was addressed in real time.
